11-Year-Old in Critical Condition After Being Hit by Car

An 11-year-old Fort Worth child is in a critical condition after being hit by a Ford Expedition while walking on a sidewalk in the 1300 block of Barrel Run at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.

According to sources, it has been reported that the driver of the vehicle – identified as 28-year-old Ms. Laura Martin – had hit one or more vehicles prior to the auto accident and was witnessed driving down Sendera Ranch Blvd the wrong way, before crossing a median strip, knocking over a tree and then a school zone signal light and then driving onto the sidewalk where her vehicle collided with the young girl.

The name of the victim has not been released; however, sources have indicated that she was airlifted to Cook Children’s Hospital with critical head and leg injuries.

The SUV driver has a history of arrests that have included possession of marijuana and has been charged by the Fort Worth Police Dept for driving while intoxicated.

The investigation continues.
